A STUDY ON THE ROLE OF MICROFINANCE TO PROMOTE WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS

Abstract

Microfinance, particularly in developing nations, has emerged as a powerful tool to promote economic development and empower marginalized populations. Among these populations, women entrepreneurs have gained significant attention as the beneficiaries of microfinance initiatives aimed at fostering gender equity and stimulating economic growth. This paper explores the role of microfinance in supporting women entrepreneurs, focusing on its impact on economic development, poverty alleviation, and gender empowerment. By analyzing various case studies and statistical data, this research aims to evaluate the efficacy of microfinance programs and assess the barriers and challenges that women face when accessing these financial resources.
